  1. NOT GUILTY.   George Zimmerman is a free man.   God help him in his life, he'll need it.

  4. I believe that the correct verdict was reached based upon the facts in evidence however, I won't revel in it and attempt to serve anyone a dish of fresh crow. There are folks I know and respect here and elsewhere on both sides of the issue. I pray that the fears of unrest are blown out of proportion and come to naught, but I still have taken precautions based upon the chatter on social media. Before you go to bed tonight hug your kids because regardless of your parenting, they could make a poor decision and end up like Martin. Also, ask God for guidance so you don't make a poor decision and end up in the same position as Zimmerman. This was a shitty situation for everyone involved. Let us now work to move past the rifts and divisions that the media and race pimps have sought to sow between us.

  7. Somehow the results of this case (whether he'd been found guilty/not guilty) would have zero bearing how I defend myself or whether or not I would dismount my vehicle to follow someone I deem suspicious down a dark street. We all make decisions in life and we are beholden to those decisions.

  9. I'll get that started now with this statement: Glocks are the best functioning and best looking gun ever made. All 1911's are substandard junk and should be shipped to places like CA and NY. Also ... 9mm is a far better defensive round than .45

  10. So....how long before he can have his gun back?   God knows he's gonna need it now more than ever.  He needs to rent a Uhaul and head to the midwest.

  14. That's why the media was on Trevon Martin's side. They get the black people all pumped up and then the verdict is Not Guilty and they get riots to cover. It's all about ratings. Without conflict, the media would go bankrupt, so they create their own conflict.  There is no justification for assaulting a person and George was attacked. It should never have come to trial but the media has been spinning this like a top. Twisting the facts and squeezing the emotions out of people. It makes me sick.

  16. Being targeted by the National media with false allegations where you are seen guilty by mass public opinion and never stand a chance to regain the life you once had even though you are innocent. Oh wait... you said irrational

  24. I just don't feel that guns are all that unpredictable. Don't pull the trigger and there won't be none. I can remember that with a half liter of tequila in my system. The problems with guns and alcohol come when somebody turns into an idiot, and thinks the rules have changed, like when, where, and what you can perforate.

  26. A child being hit in the head with a heavy grain bullet moving 300 fps is much different than an adult it think. Kinda like how a grown man can take a grown man punch, but a kid might easily be killed by such a blow.

  27.   According to most media outlets, Zimmerman was guilty just because he had a gun. Wait, let me get it right... GUN!!!  :panic:  :panic:  :panic:

  28. I sure do. Got detoured through there during the APSU homecoming parade. Didn't even know a place like that existed in good 'ol Clarksville and I had been here for a few years when I drove through there. Of course, I was probably safer there than any place else in Clarksville. The dealers ain't gonna let a cracker like me get popped in their distribution center.... bad for business if the Popo were to actually go down there.

  30. Locked and loaded here. This is not a drill.   I've already clearly communicated to my beautiful and petite spouse that she will not be going to Walmart without a bodyguard (me) for the run-up to and aftermath of the Zimmerman verdict.   These circumstances have already extracted a renewed promise from her to acquire her Tennessee Handgun Carry Permit so she can carry her own weapon legally. (!!)   If you have an umbrella near at hand, it probably won't rain that day.

  33. Once a person puts on the uniform of a public servant, be it police, soldier, or what have you, that person must represent society. I was often reminded of that overseas when I wanted to act a certain way but instead held back to represent the flag on my shoulder with honor.    It is even more important with folks that can easily violate your person and ruin your life through what to them is a simple arrest. Not only that but the officer in the video jumped immediately to being hurt because a citizen (not a prisoner, not a suspect other than going through a DUI checkpoint) questioned his non-life threatening directions. Now that is not honorable behavior, nor is it acceptable from a public servant. Furthermore in the longer dashcam you can hear more of the conversation that seems to me at least to prove the point that he was trying to intimidate a citizen.    I am sorry, I want to go back to the days of my early adult life when I was not concerned about approaching an officer and asking for directions. Now officers to often are being reported in the news as using things like that to get a arrest, or for having a bad attitude that results in the same - looking for an arrest.    Folks who think the kid got what he deserved should think well what if you were in that situation. The kid did not raise his voice, curse the officer, or anything of the kind. He simply questioned what he had to do. Officers do not know the law, they know how to get through the law to articulate things like reasonable suspicion and probable cause so that they can do their jobs. Lawyers do not know all of the law - they know a small piece of what they work in criminal law. Otherwise we would not need lawyers that specialize in self defense or in tax code cases.    This is why we are supposed to screen and monitor police to make sure we hire ethical folks who want to serve the public and not bullies. Law enforcement officers really do not have the luxury of having a bad day and taking that to work with them. Caesar's wife must be above reproach. Dignity and respect.

  35. We got involved in Egypt originally because of pressure to the WH by McCain and Graham ( and other NeoCons) to back the  then rebels. ( How soon we forget what really goes on!) We need to stay out of the Middle east completely. If anybody attacks Israel then we come to her aid, otherwise back off! This is an Islamic problem and we are Christians, and we have nothing to gain. Contrary to popular belief we are not dependent on Middle East Oil. The only ME oil we use in quantity is Saudi and they don't like any of the other ME nations! We could even cut off from Saudi Arabia and make up the difference overnight with more oil from Canada and Mexico.

  38. Not no, but HELL NO! I drink like a fish and pull off the pistol, set it on top of the safe and before I ever take a drink. I never drink in public. Ever. You're gonna get a great deal of argument here, hopefully a peaceful intelligent argument but you asked for an opinion and mine is NEVER and I personally judge anyone who does as lacking in judgment. I don't care what a person THINKS their tolerance for alcohol is. No. Period.

  39. Keep the grass cut short around the pond and remove any brush or other hiding places for critters.  Snakes like to hide and hunt other critters that hide in areas where there's cover.  And you really want the snakes there as they do an excellent job of controlling the population of other less desirable critters.    Designate a "play area".  Play here, stay away from there.  Teach them to identify the various snakes they might see.    http://tennessee.gov/twra/pdfs/snakesposter.pdf   http://www.tnwatchablewildlife.org/display2.cfm?habitat=&sort=aounumber&typename=reptile&Taxonomicgroup=Reptile%20-%20Snakes   That said, do what you need to do to protect the kiddies.

  40. I went to the gun show at the Nashville fairgrounds today and black rifles were available in abundance.  I'm not sure about the prices, but many were below $1,000 so I guess the draught of sporting rifles is over.   I didn't see a lot of AKs and SKSs, but there were a few there.   There seemed to be a reasonable supply of ammo as well, but I didn't check prices.   I bought a used NCStar 4x lighted scope with laser for... well... it seemed like a decent price.  Now, I'm not sure what to put it on. I may have to go back tomorrow to get a rifle.  :rofl:

  41. "We demand justice for Trayvon!"?!?!? Justice WAS served! Just because someone tring to protect their commumity and asks you a question gives you no right to be combative and assault that person! I guess he has never heard of "never bring a knife to a gun fight".  This has nothing to do with race as the media has tried to push down our throats! It is all about how some people( the youth of today and or the "99%") think that their should be no repercussion for their action and should be rewarded when they really need to be held accountable.  GZ DID NOT SHOOT a boy in the back or a boy that was trying to avoid a situation or a boy that was on his way home to his mommy while eating Skittles! He shot a young MAN that was beating his head into the sidewalk. JUSTICE SERVED!

  42. I'm very pleased with this. I really don't care much about this or other "high-profile" cases, but I find it satisfying as it's a win for self-defense.   Now we'll see what happens next...

  43. MP5K clone with numerous loaded mags has been my travelling companion since the jury got the case. Easier to conceal than a rifle. That being said, if there are reports or rioting, guess the new Tavor will be sighted in on a 360 degree range

  44.   Grumpy cop isn't a trooper. He's SO. I think the dash cam was a trooper car. So even if they're carrying wireless mics, he was probably somewhere else at first. Gotta watch the tape again.

  47.   So, your trigger discipline goes out the window when you drink? I don't shoot, clean guns, or anything else that requires a lot of focus when I'm drinking. That doesn't mean I'm going to disarm myself as soon as I open a beer. I'm real good at not accidentally pulling a trigger. 30+ years of practice, I guess :)

  48. I've used [url=http://www.mredepot.com/servlet/StoreFront] MRE Depot[/url] several times in the past. They have a variety of intermediate to long term storage foods at competitive pricing.   Another option is actually Walmart online. I purchase [url=http://www.walmart.com/c/kp/augason] Augason Farms[/url] products. It's free shipping for orders over $50.00. Walmart online also carries Grizzly Ridge camping foods and Mountain House. Just another option.   fwiw...I too like MRE's...but then I liked the C-Rats they used to issue us... :cool:
